Regulations
General rules for tours:
- These general rules for tours are applicable to all French division pilot tours. ATC tours and Special Operations tours are excluded.
- Some tours might have specific rules. In case of conflict, specific rules overrule general rules.
- All flights must be performed online on the IVAO network, with real weather. They have to be accomplished in real time (simulation rate x1 only, accelerated mode prohibited).
- Legs must be accomplished in the published order.
- Speed restrictions IAS < 250 kts below FL100 must be observed.
- Maximum speed in cruise is M0.85 with a maximum FL450.
- During cruise phases, a disconnection of up to 20 minutes is tolerated, provided that it does not disturb network operations, especially under ATC coverage. Please report any disconnection in your pilot report.
- The use of UNICOM in text or voice mode, in the absence of active ATC online, is MANDATORY. Legs may be rejected if not compliant.
- All legs must be validated by sending a pilot report. It is essential to read and understand the validator's comment for each leg, even if the leg is validated. We advise not proceeding with the tour without validation of the previous leg.
- Pilot reports must be sent within 12 days following the flight date. Any leg submitted after this deadline will be rejected.
- The pilot report must include the list of ATCs contacted during the flight and the procedures flown throughout the flight.
- A direct routing is allowed only with ATC instruction. Please mention any direct obtained in the pilot report.
- It is mandatory to disconnect from the network at the end of each flight.
- Pilots should pay particular attention to:
- In IFR:
- Odd/Even semicircular parity;
- Minimum and maximum airway altitudes;
- Published procedures when ATC is offline.
- In VFR:
- Aerodrome traffic circuit integrations;
- Prohibited (P) areas, as well as Restricted (R) areas when active (Special Operations link).
- In IFR:
- Pay close attention to your flight plan:
- Flight plans with incorrect or misspelled departure/arrival aerodromes will be rejected;
- Filed equipment must be compatible with the aircraft used.
- The prevailing flight plan will be the one active at takeoff. Airborne modifications will not be accepted.
- Operating flights under military or any other Special Operations flight type is not allowed. The flight type must strictly be G, S, or N.
- The use of military aircraft as described in 10.1 of the Special Operations Rules is prohibited on civilian tours.
- Pilots are required to be connected to the network at least 2 minutes before takeoff and remain connected for at least 2 minutes after landing. This allows the tracker to record your flight entirely.
- An IFR route, IFPS-compliant at the time of publication, may be proposed on some legs. This is only a suggestion; you are free to file your own route!
- A single flight can only be reported once, for one leg on one tour, even if the flight meets the requirements of 2 or more tours.
- Flights with two pilots using shared cockpit functionality are permitted on division tours. However, only the "master" pilot of the connection is allowed to submit a pilot report. The second pilot, connected as an observer, is not permitted to file a report for the leg flown.
- Should there be any inquiry or contestation following a leg evaluation, it must be sent exclusively by email to the validator. Supported languages are English and French. Messages must be sent no later than 7 days after the leg evaluation, clearly specifying the report ID.
- The use of the IVAO France Tracker is optional on all tours, except Skills tours.
